Created on 7 May 2010
As of 7 May, all Cutting Board, Pot and Rainbow Recipes are included in this Guide.
Introduction
Cooking may appear to be a fun hobby in any Harvest Moon game but it is far
more vital than that. Cooked items can have a profound effect on two important
aspects of life: friendship and energy levels. A cooked item when consumed
always gives far more energy than raw ingredients. As gifts, cooked items often
are the 'Most Favorite Gift' for characters, including those eligible for
marriage.
Actually, recipes in this game play a vital role in terms of advancing the
plot. The 'Rainbow Recipes' are the key to unlocking new areas on the map and
making it possible for your character ultimately to discover the whereabouts of
the seedling that will become the new Tree of Tranquility.
In Tree of Tranquility, cooking requires Recipes as well as the proper
equipment and ingredients. There are a few methods by which Recipes can be
obtained, two of which are guaranteed.
Watching the 'Rainbow Cooking' show on television;
Visiting the kitchens of three renowned cooks on the island, Mira, Yolanda and
Chase;
Purchasing or acquiring a Cooked Item;
Trial and error;
Talking to individuals.
Your Kitchen Counter
Even your initial Level 1 House will contain a Kitchen but you will be able to
cook anything. The Level of the House will be reflected in the amount of space
for Cooking Utensils on the Counter of the Kitchen. A basic Level 1 House has
space only for two Cooking Utensils. A Level 2 House has space for three. This
does not mean that you are restricted in your cooking ventures to the number of
Utensils that fit on your Counter. You can keep others in storage and simply
switch them through the Furniture Placement Menu on your bedside table.
The ultimate upgrade for your home is a Level 5 House. When the upgrade is
completed, it will be described as a 'perfect' house. The primary reason for
upgrading to Level 5 in fact is to be able to keep a complete set of Cooking
Utensils on your counter in the kitchen.
Although both Level 4 and Level 5 Houses have two floors, only the Level 5
house has space for all 6 Cooking Utensils on the Counter in the Kitchen.
A Box of Matches
Your 7th Cooking Utensil is a Box of Matches, which can be used to light a fire
on any beach. You will find a stack of wood in a bonfire formation on the
beach. Stand next to it and press the 'A' Button to light the fire. You then
can equip any fish or appropriate vegetable and press 'A' again to cook it over
the open fire.
Using your Kitchen
Whenever you wish to cook, go to the Kitchen and press 'A' in front of the
appropriate cooking implement. You must have all necessary ingredients in your
rucksack in this game, unlike most other Harvest Moon games, where you will
have access to any ingredients that are in your rucksack or your refrigerator.
Make certain that you collect all necessary ingredients, therefore, before you
go to the Kitchen counter.
Remember always that you need to have all ingredients in your Rucksack if you
wish to make a dish in the kitchen. There is no link between the Kitchen and
your Refrigerator but you need not hold the ingredient in your hands. When you
press A in front of any Cooking Utensil, a Menu will open that displays five
Cooking Slots. Your rucksack will be displayed above that in a wheel formation.
Simply rotate the wheel to access any item and then transfer the selected item
to a Cooking Slot.
Without any Cooking Utensils, you will not be able to use your Kitchen.
All Cooking Utensils can be purchased from Simon at the General Store. Once you
have a Cooking Tool, use the Furniture placement option at the table next to
your bed to place the Cooking Utensil on the counter. Remember that you must
stand BEHIND the Kitchen Counter in order to cook. Unlike any other item of
Furniture that must be rotated manually, Cooking Utensils will be rotated
automatically so they will face you when you stand behind the Counter.
Whenever you wish to cook, press the 'A' button when standing in front of any
Cooking Utensil. You should see a prompt to 'Check' the Utensil. The Menu for
that Utensil then will appear.
For example, if you are standing in front of the Pot when you press the 'A'
button, you will see a Cooking Menu with the icon of the Pot at the left and 5
Cooking Slots next to that. Below the Cooking Slots will be four option buttons:
Start
Quit
Recipe
Reset
Above the Cooking Menu, you will see a Wheel Menu for your Rucksack. Any items
that can be used in Cooking will be available for transfer to a Cooking Slot.
If there are no ingredients in your Rucksack, you will be unable to cook.
Use the Nunchuk Control Stick to cycle through the items in your rucksack. When
an ingredient is selected, use the 'A' button to move it from the slot in the
Rucksack to a Cooking Slot. You have a total of five Cooking Slots. You can
cook with only a single ingredient or you can fill all five slots. If a recipe
calls for an ingredient, using more than one may or may not improve the quality
of the dish.
When you have selected all the necessary or desired ingredients, use the
Nunchuk Control Stick to move the cursor down to the Cooking Option buttons. By
default, it will go to the Start Button first. If you are not happy with your
selections, you can use the Nunchuk Control Stick to move right to one of the
other options.
If you press 'Start', Cooking will commence.
If you press 'Quit', you will leave the Cooking Menu entirely.
If you press 'Recipe', you will see the result of your selections if you choose
to commence cooking. If a successful Recipe using the selected ingredients and
utensil has been added to your Cookbook, that recipe will be displayed. If you
never used these ingredients before with this utensil and the result will be
unsuccessful, a 'Failed Recipe' or 'Weird Dish' will be displayed. This is a
warning that will prevent you from wasting good ingredients.
If you have placed more than one Cooking Implement on your counter, it is very
easy to stand in front of the wrong one. Make certain that you pay attention to
the icon that is displayed in the Cooking Menu. Cooking a tomato in a Mixer
will result in a glass of Tomato Juice but if you attempt to cook the same
tomato in your Pot, you will have nothing but a Failed Dish to show for your
efforts. Always take your time when performing any actions.
Easy Dishes for a Beginner
At the beginning of the game, you will have a Level 1 basic House, which means
that it will include a Kitchen with two spaces for Cooking Utensils on the
counter. You can buy more than two Utensils and simply switch them from storage
when needed, but it really is best to use your money to upgrade the House
instead. You therefore need to choose which Cooking Utensils you wish to
purchase first.
Your decision should be based on the ingredients that are at your disposal
early in the game and the Recipes that can be made with them.
Your Stamina at the start of the game is 500 Points. Each Power Berry raises
the total by 100 Points. As there are five Power Berries, you can obtain a
maximum total of 1000 Stamina Points. The recipes that follow are most helpful
to your character before any Power Berries have been obtained when your total
Stamina is 500 Points.
Herb Tea
Herb Tea: 1 Herb in a Pot
Herb Tea is one of the easiest Recipes to complete and one that offers good
energy recovery at the start of the game. Herbs of every colours are found
randomly in the wilds. The areas that are accessible at the start of the game
where you may find herbs are the Praline Forest and the stretch of grass across
the road from Yolanda's house. It is possible to find all colours of Wild Grass
in the Praline Forest. Green Herb sometimes is found across from Yolanda's
house. When you unlock the Brownie Ranch area, you will be able to find all
colours of Herbs in the meadows there.
Note how much more effective a Cooked Dish is than the Raw Ingredients used to
create it. All Herbs apart from Blue Herb have an SR value of 20. Blue Herb is
worth 30 SR. If you place any of these Herbs in a Pot, they attain an SR value
of 80 as Herbal Tea.
Furthermore, you can purchase Herb Seeds at the Flower Festival in early
Spring. Those herbs that can be grown in Spring can be planted immediately.
After Taylor arrives at Waffle Island, he will sell Herb Seeds by telephone.
As previously stated, Herbal Tea is worth 80 SR or Stamina Recovery. At the
start of the game when your total Stamina is 500 Points, 80 SR is rather
significant. In fact, it is one of the items sold at the Meringue Clinic as a
Medicine. Later in the game, when you have obtained Power Berries, 80 SR will
not be as significant.
Potato Stew
Potato Stew: 1 Potato of any Rank in a Pot
Potato Stew is cheap to make. Potato Seeds are the very first seeds you will
have and they grow quickly. Any grade can be used to create this simple dish.
It will restore 100 Stamina. You actually can buy Potatoes at the Souffle Farm
as well but you will find that it is more cost effective to grow your own.
Miso Soup
Miso Soup: 1 piece of Laver Seaweed in a Pot
Laver Seaweed can be found on the Beaches of Waffle Island. You need only a
single piece to make Miso Soup. With 100 SR or Stamina Recovery value, it is
slightly more effective than Herbal Tea. Walk along the beaches on a regular
basis to find seaweed and clams, as well as the occasional seashell and pearl.
Berry Juice
Berry Juice: 1 Very Berry in a Mixer
Very Berry is one of the items that you can find in the wilds. At the start of
the game, you will have access only to the Praline Forest region but it will be
available there on a random basis. Berry Juice restores 80 SR, giving it the
same Recovery value as Herbal Tea.
Blueberry Juice
Blueberry Juice: 1 Blueberry in a Mixer
Blueberries are another item that can be found at random in the wilds. You will
find them at the start of the game in Praline Forest.
If you buy a Box of Matches, you can make the following:
Grilled Fish or Grilled Vegetables
Almost every type of fish can be grilled on a bonfire. You can obtain a Used
Fishing Rod from Toby as soon as your house is completed if you simply go to
the Beach to meet him. Fish can be found in the ocean, in the Lake or in the
River and grilled fish will restore your energy to some extent. There is only
one disadvantage to this: fishing requires a lot of energy, especially when you
first begin your life on the Island. You can use almost half your total energy
reeling in one fish or piece of rubbish.
Even when you have increased your total energy by obtaining Power Berries, you
can expend almost all of it reeling in a large and dangerous fish like a Shark.
The exceptions to this are Clams and Sea Urchins, food items that can be found
on the beach. You can gather Clams without expending any energy and they can be
grilled.
Certain vegetables can be grilled on a bonfire, namely Yams, Eggplant, Corn and
Chestnuts. No energy is expended in the actual grilling process. You will find
the SR or Stamina Recovery Value for every Grilled Dish in the Cookbook Bonfire
Recipes section of this Guide.
Even so, although the Matches are the least expensive Cooking Utensil and can
be used at any Beach to light a Bonfire there,you can use them only in fine
weather. It therefore may more practical to rely on a Pot or a Mixer early in
the game.
Complete Cookbook
The following Recipes include the list of ingredients necessary to create the
Cooked Dish successfully, shipping values, cost if available for purchase at
any restaurant or Festival Stall and Recovery value in terms of Energy.
Recovery value is given as SR or Stamina Recovery.
In some cases, a Cooked Dish operates on Fatigue rather than Stamina. This is
true mainly with respect to Medicines like Cold Medicine and Stay Awake. You
will see a low SR value here, but using one of these is effective in curing the
condition.
Note that in cases where different qualities of the same Recipe can be created,
all four grades are given with their respective values. It is only with respect
to Fish that different grades of a Recipe can be made.
Using Good Business Sense in Cooking
The Grade of Crop used in a Cooked Dish will not change its shipping value or
Energy Recovery Value. It therefore is more practical to ship higher grades of
Crops and use lower grades in cooking.
The same rule applies to inedible Ranch Products such as Wool Yarn, Thread and
Flax Yarn. When you dye any type of Yarn or Thread, it loses its special grade.
In other words, 'Decent' Yarn and 'Shining Yarn' when dyed both become simply
Coloured Yarn.
Where edible Ranch Products are concerned, the only item that loses its special
Grade when processed is an Egg of any type. Milk when processed into Cheese or
Butter retains its specific grade.
The first Recipe in each category is an unsuccessful one. If you use an Aging
Pot or Frying Pan, it will be named 'Weird Dish' but if you use another
Utensil, it will be a 'Failed Dish'.
Grading Cooked Dishes
When Fish are an ingredient in a Recipe, it may be possible to create four
different Grades of Cooked Dish. The number of fish used as well as the variety
can determine the final Quality of a Fish Dish. Where this is the case, the
Dishes have been listed as four separate dishes as each has a different value
both in terms of shipping and in terms of Stamina Recovery.When any Recipe
specifies only Fish or Herb as an ingredient, you can use any type of Fish
and any type of Herb. Where Any Crustacean is listed as an ingredient, you can
use Freshwater Prawn, Crawfish, Lobster or Rock Lobster to complete the Recipe.
Note that, when collecting the ingredients for a Rainbow Recipe, the Grade or
Rank of your Cooked Dish may be significant. The general Rule in ToT where any
Grade Requirement is concerned is that any Grade equal to or higher than the
Required Grade will meet the Requirement.
Failed and Weird Dishes
An unsuccessful dish can be shipped for 10G but you should not eat it as it
actually will bring down your Stamina level! Depending on the implement used to
create it, the amount by which your Stamina decreases can be 50 to 70 points.
Using this Cookbook
Where 'Fish' is an ingredient, you can use any Fish. Where 'Vegetable' is
listed as an ingredient, use any Vegetable and where 'Herb' is listed, any
colour or type of Herb can be used. Some Recipes call for 'any Crustacean'.
The ingredient then that is needed is Shrimp or Lobster or any other
Crustacean. SR refers to Stamina Recovery and is the amount of Energy
restored when the Cooked Dish is consumed. When a Cooked Dish is marked with an
asterisk, it signifies that the Dish is an ingredient in a Rainbow Recipe.
Where Recipes have different Grades, the Dish that you will create depends on
the total value of the Ingredients used. More Ingredients of lower value
therefore sometimes can create the same superior dish that would be made using
fewer Ingredients with higher values.
Tip: You can buy Decent Rice at the Souffle Farm in Autumn or you can grow it
in your field. Rice on a Cutting Board makes Rice Ball, a simple cooked dish
that restores 180 points in terms of Stamina Recovery.

Pot Recipes
Any Herb thrown into a Pot makes Herbal Tea, a simple drink that restores 80
points in terms of Stamina Recovery. Herbal Tea is a very popular gift, and is
one of the Most Favored Gifts for Anissa, Candace, Jin and is well-received by
many other eligible girls, bachelors and islanders. You can buy Herbal Tea at
the Meringue Clinic for 105G but it really makes sense to buy a Pot as early as
possible in the game so you can cook for yourself. Herbs of every colour are
found in the wilds, although you can buy Herb Seeds at the Flower Festival and
later, from Taylor when he arrives on the Island.
Another simple Recipe with excellent SR value is Buckwheat Noodles. One
Buckwheat in a Pot creates Buckwheat Noodles with a value of 400 SR. You will
not be able to obtain Buckwheat until your first Winter but you then can grow
it or buy Decent Buckwheat at the Souffle Inn. It is a very inexpensive Crop
with high nutritional value.
Favourite Gifts in Courtship
Boiled Spinach is a favorite with Luke. Cocoa is a favorite with Renee. Herbal
Tea is popular with many guys and girls, including Anissa, Candace and Jin. See
the Character section for details on the best dishes to make for every eligible
girl or bachelor. Many of them are Pot Dishes.
Special Recipes from Islanders
Speaking to individuals on a regular basis can be to your benefit even where
cooking is concerned. On the day of the Harvest Festival, you may obtain a
number of different recipes from Islanders. Ramsey may tell you his recipe for
Moon Buckwheat Noodles and Hamilton may give you the recipe for Potato Stew.
Dale gives his Recipe for Spicy Stew and Craig will tell you how to make
Pickled Cabbage. Listening to people increases your Friendship with them as
well by 5 points and will bring you additional rewards when you finally plant
the Seedling of Hope.
Any Vegetable, Crustacean and Herb
Where the Recipe includes 'any Crustacean' as an Ingredient, you can use any of
the following: Freshwater Prawn, Crawfish, Lobster or Rock Lobster. Where
'Fish' is an ingredient, you can use any Fish. Where 'Vegetable' is listed as
an ingredient, use any Vegetable. Where 'Herb' is listed, any colour or type of
Herb can be used. SR refers to Stamina Recovery and is the amount of Energy
restored when the Cooked Dish is consumed. When a Cooked Dish is marked with an
Asterisk, it signifies an ingredient in a Rainbow Recipe.

Frying Pan Recipes
Plain Omelet, Any Crustacean, Fish or Herb
Where the Recipe includes 'any Crustacean' as an Ingredient, you can use any of
the following: Freshwater Prawn, Crawfish, Lobster or Rock Lobster. Where
'Fish' is an ingredient, you can use any Fish. Where 'Vegetable' is listed as
an ingredient, use any Vegetable and where 'Herb' is listed, any colour or type
of Herb can be used. SR refers to Stamina Recovery and is the amount of Energy
restored when the Cooked Dish is consumed.
Rainbow Recipe Cooked Dish Ingredients
Where any Cooked Dish is marked with an Asterisk, it signifies an ingredient in
a Rainbow Recipe.
A Plain Omelet is an ingredient in a Rainbow Recipe.
All Rainbow Recipes
There are Rainbow Recipes to awaken each of the sleeping Harvest Sprites.
Although the Rainbow Recipes and their effects are discussed in detail in my
Easy Walkthrough, the Recipes will be listed here.
Daren's Rainbow Recipe:
Daren's Flower is located beneath the great tree near the Clock Tower in Waffle
Town Square and is the first Rainbow that you will be able to complete. The
ingredients for his Rainbow Recipe are:
Grilled Yam
Carp
Good Herb Fish
Seashell
Apple
Grilled Yam
Grilled Yam:
Grilled Yam can be prepared from any grade of Yam using a Bonfire. To start a
bonfire, you need to purchase a set of matches from the General Store. Once
purchased, you never will run out of matches! You may have noticed stacks of
wood in a bonfire formation on every beach. Simply equip the Matches next to
the Bonfire and use to light the fire, then equip the item that you wish to
grill over the open flames. If the item is one that can be grilled, you will
receive a nicely grilled dish! You can use a single Bonfire to cook any number
of items when you are standing in front of it.
If you do not wish to make the Cooked Dish yourself, you can buy Grilled Yam
ready-made at the Spring and Summer Flea Markets.
Carp
Carp:
Carp is caught from the River. It is not uncommon at all. A raw Carp is the
ingredient you need for this recipe.
Good Herb Fish:
Good Herb Fish:
'Herb Fish' is a recipe that requires 1 Fish and 1 Herb of any colour. As with
crops, however, there are different categories of Herb Fish.
'Good Herb Fish' must be made with a level of dish that is superior to the
ordinary 'Decent Herb Fish'. You can create this either by using more than one
of a slightly uncommon variety of fish or by using one of a rather rare
variety. The type of Herb used can affect the Grade as well. For example, by
using two Salmon in the Recipe instead of one Salmon and one Green Herb, you
can create a 'Good Herb Fish'. Using one Salmon with one Green Herb creates
'Decent Herb Fish' but if you use Purple Herb instead, the result will be 'Good
Herb Fish'. Using three Salmon and one Green Herb creates a 'Perfect Herb
Fish'. You either can purchase Salmon at the Fish Market or catch it at the
Waterfall. Any colour of Herb can be used in this Dish but different colours of
Herb may create different Grades.
When a Recipe requires a specific Grade of ingredient, you can use either that
Grade or any Grade superior to it. Thus, 'Perfect Herb Fish' and 'Shining Herb
Fish' will meet the requirement as well for Daren's Rainbow Recipe.
Seashell
Seashell:
There are two grades of Seashell. One is an ordinary Seashell and the other is
'Fancy Seashell'. You need an ordinary Seashell to complete this Recipe.
Ben's Rainbow Recipe
Grilled Eggplant
Char
Green Herb
Plain Omelet
Good Tomato
Although Ben will be able to complete his Rainbow when you give him all the
ingredients he needs, you will not be able to cross the Rainbow without his
Badge. Ben lost his Badge and it was swept away into the sea. Its location will
remain inaccessible to you until you complete Colin's Rainbow. You need to
complete Ben's Rainbow Recipe before you complete Colin's Rainbow, but you will
not be able to cross Ben's Rainbow until you can cross Colin's Rainbow to
retrieve Ben's Badge from the beach on East Gull Island.
Grilled Eggplant
Grilled Eggplant:
Eggplant is an Autumn Crop. You either can grow it yourself or buy Decent
Eggplant for 150G at the Souffle Farm during the Autumn season. Before Taylor
arrives on the Island, the only way to grow Eggplant is to buy a Fall Seed Mix,
as one seed at least in the Mix should produce an Eggplant. If you wish to
complete the Rainbow as early as possible in the game, you will choose to buy
the Eggplant at the Souffle Farm and grill it on the first sunny day at a Bonfire.
Char
Char:
Char is a fish that can be caught quite frequently at the Waterfall near the
Hot Spring. You will not need any high level of experience and you should be
able to catch it easily even with a Basic Used Fishing Rod.
Green Herb
Green Herb:
Green Herb grows wild and can be found in Praline Forest, across the road from
Yolanda's house and in the meadows of the Brownie Ranch area.
Plain Omelet
Plain Omelet
A Plain Omelet can be made in your kitchen or you can purchase it from Simon's
stall at the Spring or Summer Flea Market.
The ingredients for a Plain Omelet are: Egg and Butter cooked in a Frying Pan.
Good Butter can be purchased from the Brownie Ranch for 225G in any season if
you do not have an adult cow and Butter Maker.
Good Tomato
When a recipe requires a specific grade of crop or dish, you can use that
quality or better. A Good Tomato can be grown in Summer or you can purchase one
at the Harvest Festival in Autumn.
Colin's Rainbow Recipe
Colin's Rainbow Recipe
Saury
Blue Wonderful
Perfect Spinach
Banana
Red Wool Yarn
Saury
Saury:
Saury can be caught when fishing in the Ocean in Autumn or Winter. Store the
fish when caught for this recipe if you cannot complete the Rainbow Recipe in
either of these seasons.
When a Cat reaches a level of 4 Hearts, it will bring you a Saury as a gift. As
you can catch Saury with any level of experience and a basic Used Fishing Rod,
however, you need not wait to be given one by an Animal Friend.
Blue Wonderful
Blue Wonderful:
A Blue Wonderful can be found on almost any floor of the Ganache Mine randomly.
Do not have it appraised if you wish to use it for the recipe.
Wonderfuls with Sparkles
If the Blue Wonderful sparkles, it will contain a valuable gem. It is best to
use a Blue Wonderful that does not sparkle in the recipe as those contain
nothing more valuable than Glass.
In fact, there are a number of different valuable gems that can be found in a
Blue Wonderful that sparkles. If there is a single sparkle, it probably
contains Lapis Lazuli. With two or three sparkles, it contains either
Aquamarine or Sapphire.
Perfect Spinach
Perfect Spinach:
Grow Perfect Spinach on your farm. 'Perfect' or 'Shining' Crops are more likely
to be produced if you have fertilized your fields and eliminate any weeds that
appear there instantly.
Banana
Banana:
Bananas can be found in the wilds on Toucan Island or can be purchased from
Samson at the Pineapple Inn.
Red Wool Yarn
Red Wool Yarn:
If you do not have an adult Sheep or Shears, you can purchase Good Wool from
the Brownie Ranch or Spring and Summer Flea Markets for 390G. That is the first
step only, however, as you will need a Yarn Maker in order to transform it into
Yarn. Buy a Yarn Maker from the General Store. A Dye Pot will be included with
your purchase. Place the Wool with a Red Herb or Red Flower in the Dye Pot to
create Red Wool Yarn.
You actually can buy Good Wool Yarn at the Animal Festival for 465G but you
still will need to dye it in a Dye Pot. As you only will obtain a Dye Pot by
buying the Yarn Maker at the General Store, it is less expensive to buy the
Good Yarn and then process and dye it yourself.
Alan's Rainbow Recipe:
Toadstool
Wood Fish
Green Bell Flower
Ostonnaise
Carrot Cake
Alan's Flower is located beneath the great Tree at the top of the hill in the
Brownie Farm area. In fact, Alan's Tree is the trysting place for romantic
declarations of love.
Alan's Rainbow requires one ingredient that can be found only if you have
unlocked the Mt. Gelato area and the Harvest Goddess Spring. You therefore must
complete Colin's Rainbow and Ben's Rainbow before you can complete Alan's Recipe.
Toadstool
Toadstool:
Toadstools can be found in the Ganache Mine at the very start of the game, but
you must carry a Hammer with you in order to be able to descend in any mine.
Both Toadstools and Mushrooms can be found randomly on almost any floor of the
Mines. When you have unlocked the Mt. Gelato area, you will find Toadstools on
the ground there as well.
Wood Fish
Wood Fish:
The Wood Fish is one of the most elusive and difficult fish to catch. You
really need a Gold Fishing Rod and Level 3 Fishing experience if you wish to
have a good chance of catching one. It lives in the Harvest Goddess Spring and
cannot be found there during the day.
Green Bell Flower
Green Bell Flower
Green Bell Flower is a Winter bloom. The seeds can be purchased from Samson at
the Pineapple Inn and, when Taylor arrives on the Island, can be purchased by
telephone from him as well.
Ostonnaise
Ostonnaise
Ostonnaise is Mayonnaise made from an Ostrich egg. If you own an adult Ostrich,
it will lay an egg every four days. Place it in the Mayonnaise Maker to create
Ostonnaise. If you do not have an adult Ostrich, you will find Ostonnaise for
sale at the Spring and Summer Flea Markets.
Carrot Cake
Carrot Cake:
Elli sells Carrot Cake at the Autumn and Winter Flea Markets, if you are not
able to make it in your own kitchen. Although carrot seeds will not be
available in a seed bag until Taylor arrives on the island, any Autumn Seed Mix
can and probably will contain one Carrot seed. Furthermore, Craig sells Good
Carrots at his Stall at the Harvest Festival.
Edge's Rainbow Recipe
Tuna
Snowflake Flower
Perfect Honeydew
Lapis Lazuli
Red Honey
Tuna
Tuna:
Tuna can be caught from any Beach either from Waffle Island or East Gull
Island. You really should have Level 3 Experience if you wish to catch this
large fish as you need to be able to cast your rod far out to sea. The Tuna
does not swim close to shore. Tuna can be caught in any season apart from Summer.
Snowflake Flower
Snowflake Flower:
The Snowflake Flower is a Winter bloom. Seeds are sold at the Souffle Farm in
Winter. Once the Taylor Shop opens, Candace will have a stall at the Spring and
Summer Flea Market where she will sell Snowflake Flowers.
Perfect Honeydew
Perfect Honeydew
Honeydew is a Summer Crop. You can buy Honeydew Seeds only from the Souffle
Farm in Summer. There is no other way of obtaining a Perfect grade of Honeydew
apart from growing it yourself. Fertilize your field in order to improve your
chances of obtaining the higher grades of Crops.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli:
Blue Wonderfuls with sparkles can contain Lapis Lazuli but the only way to
extract the gem is by asking Mira to refine the Wonderful at the Blacksmith
Shop. Lapis Lazuli is less valuable than Aquamarine or Sapphire, and the chance
of finding this Gem inside a Blue Wonderful therefore is greater. Lapis Lazuli
is one of the Treasures you will find if you participate in the Treasure Hunt.
Red Honey
Red Honey:
Red Honey is produced randomly by bees from any Red Flower when the flower is
in full bloom and ready to harvest. Bees will gather above flowers only on
Sunny Days. If you wish to maximize your chances of obtaining Red Honey, keep
many red flowers blooming in your field and do not harvest them until you
obtain the Honey you need to complete the Rainbow Recipe.
